Hotel Networking Solution

Applications and Cases

Key Takeaways

With 24-port PoE and 56Gbps switching capacity, the ES620 delivers reliable, high-performance switching for hotel Wi-Fi and surveillance networks. InHand Networks provides managed enterprise switching solutions for hotels, ensuring stable connectivity for PoE-powered Wi-Fi APs and IP cameras with seamless data delivery to the monitoring room.

Background

Hotels require robust networks to support guest Wi-Fi access points and IP surveillance cameras deployed across all floors — from lobbies and corridors to restaurants and parking areas. These devices rely on PoE for power, demanding high port density and substantial PoE budget from each floor’s wiring closet. All camera feeds must converge at the monitoring room for real-time security surveillance. Network outages mean dead zones in Wi-Fi coverage and gaps in camera footage, directly impacting guest safety and satisfaction. Hotels need a switching solution that provides ample PoE power, reliable video and data forwarding, and traffic isolation between guest Wi-Fi and surveillance streams.

Customer Requirements

High-Density PoE
for APs & Cameras
Power and connect dozens of PoE-powered Wi-Fi APs and IP cameras across every hotel floor with sufficient per-port and total power budget, eliminating the need for additional power injectors.
Reliable Video to
Monitoring
Ensure smooth, low-latency forwarding of HD surveillance camera streams to the central monitoring room without frame drops or video artifacts, even during peak guest Wi-Fi usage.
Traffic Isolation
& Security
Separate guest Wi-Fi traffic from surveillance camera streams using VLAN segmentation, preventing unauthorized access to camera feeds and ensuring surveillance data integrity.
Simple Local
Management
Enable hotel staff to perform basic configuration and monitoring through an intuitive graphical interface, reducing dependency on external IT consultants for day-to-day operations.

Solution

On each hotel floor, the ES620 connects and powers Wi-Fi access points and IP surveillance cameras via 24 PoE-enabled Gigabit ports. The 4 combo ports provide uplink connectivity to the hotel’s core router ER2000, which aggregates traffic from all floors and routes surveillance streams to the monitoring room. With a switching capacity of 56Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 41Mpps, the ES620 handles HD camera streams and guest Wi-Fi traffic simultaneously without congestion.

VLAN segmentation isolates surveillance camera traffic from guest Wi-Fi onto separate broadcast domains, ensuring that camera feeds are delivered to the monitoring room with consistent quality and that guest internet activity never impacts video surveillance performance. The graphical user interface makes configuration intuitive for hotel staff, while InCloud Manager provides centralized monitoring across all floors — including device statistics, connection quality analysis (latency, packet loss, throughput), traffic statistics, and PoE power consumption.

Benefits

All-in-One PoE for
APs & Cameras
24 PoE ports with 370W total budget power all Wi-Fi APs and IP cameras on each floor through one ES620, eliminating external power injectors and reducing cabling complexity.
Smooth Video to
Monitoring Room
56Gbps switching capacity and 41Mpps forwarding ensure HD camera streams reach the monitoring room without frame drops, even during peak guest Wi-Fi usage on the same switch.
Isolated
Surveillance Traffic
VLAN segmentation separates camera feeds from guest Wi-Fi, ensuring surveillance data integrity and preventing unauthorized access to the monitoring room’s video streams.
Intuitive for
Hotel Staff
The graphical interface makes network configuration and troubleshooting accessible to staff without networking expertise, while visual charts provide at-a-glance health monitoring.
